Thrive’s March monthly delivery specials had a few fruits that I thought would make for a yummy dessert. I have heard of granny cakes where you substitute the oil in a cake recipe for canned fruit and decided to make a jar meal version using freeze-dried fruits. It’s nice to have meals in an emergency but […]

Beef and Bean Burritos Meal-in-a-Jar
Thrive’s February monthly delivery specials definitely invoked a Mexican food vibe. I thought it would be delicious to use both the refried beans AND the beef in one recipe so my beef & bean burritos were born. Usually when you think of a burrito you envision putting all the ingredients in layers, but I mashed them […]
Broccoli Cheese Soup Meal-in-a-Jar
Thrive’s January monthly delivery specials lent to several “healthy-ish” recipes that we shared in our virtual cooking demo this week (You can view the replay here). But I opted for this yummy broccoli cheese soup for the meal in a jar recipe because it is so easy and tasty on cold winter days. Check out what all […]

One-Pot Jambalaya Meal-in-a-Jar
Thrive’s November monthly delivery specials included two of my favorite meats so I knew I wanted to try to make a recipe that included both. Jambalaya is a yummy New Orleans dish that is normally quite a production to make so I converted to a simple one pot meal that’s a pretty close version. Try it and […]
Cranberry/Mango Muffins-in-a-Jar
Thrive is holding a first ever CASE LOT SALE this month so I decided to make the meal-in-a-jar using items from that sale instead of the regular monthly specials this month. Hopefully you can grab them before the sale ends October 16th. There are some fabulous deals available on some of my favorite items! The […]
Fruity Blender Wheat Pancakes Meal-in-a-Jar
Thrive’s September monthly delivery specials were a little bit tricky for me to create a meal out of because I’m not a huge fan of those veggies and there are no meats on sale. So I decided to use the fruits and make a fruity blender wheat pancake recipe that uses wheat from our food storage too! […]
Mountain Man Trail Mix (Snack-in-a-Jar)
Thrive’s August monthly delivery specials seemed to be a random assortment of ingredients but got my brain thinking of camping foods as we are heading into September. I put together a snack mix for this month’s recipe but to watch a live zoom of several camping food hacks register here for a zoom call on Tuesday, August […]
